A really lot of digging.. /-:

So remember the picture on the first post of the garden how it came..the bottom half was covered in thick tarp and wood chippings..bit by aching bit, I took most of it up and got my tyres planted and filled..the pictures speak for themselves..

as you can see, I'd been hard at work when Karma came out to help with a bit of digging, bless her..
we also had some fun with the tyres..how to contain a teenager..(-;

Ever the impatient one, I couldn't wait to get a tyre in place and planted up..beetroot!

and the mess got worse and the tyres got more.. /-:

strawberries..carrots seeded..onions from Esther..spinach seedlings..Leeks and corinader..

















there are more corinader seeds in here too aswell as the plants
View from the bottom of the garden..

still left with a mess though..and I like to keep things tidy, even outside..(-;

so I set to work taking more of the tarp up to make space for a long raised bed of sorts which will home potatoes, purple sprouting brocolli, squash and more beetroot cos I love it!

The tyre I have left will home a blueberry bush next to the coriander and I intend building a natural pond down in the far corner..my tomato plants will go in hanging baskets above my garlic and I have yet to find a home for my echinacea..at the moment the most obvious place will be next to the camelia, but am not 100% yet.
So that's it up to date..it's all taking/growing well and I'm very proud of my efforts! ~grin~
